Tax Efficiency

Why Doctors Choose Umbrella Director

A breakdown of the specific financial and administrative benefits over standard employee payroll.

0% Employer PRSI (Save ~11.25%)

Unlike standard employees where employer PRSI (11.25%) is deducted from contract funds, Umbrella Directors are classified under PRSI Class S (4%), keeping more earnings in your account.

40% Executive Pension Relief

Direct employer contributions into an approved Executive Pension or PRSA directly reduce taxable income at the 40% higher marginal bracket, accelerating wealth accumulation.

Full Revenue ERR Expense Relief

Claim tax-free motor travel mileage, clinical supplies, medical exams, and remote work allowances strictly aligned with Revenue Enhanced Reporting Requirements.

Zero Company Setup Burden

No need to incorporate your own limited company or pay €1,500+ in annual accountancy and CRO secretarial filing fees. We manage all compliance behind the scenes.

Is Umbrella Director Right for You?

If your agreed daily rate is €250/day or higher, Umbrella Director is almost always the most advantageous choice in Ireland. You qualify for Class S PRSI which continues to fund your State Contributory Pension while exempting you from employer PRSI charges.
